The Tea Things of Jane Austen
November 17, 2020 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm CST
An interactive discussion with Bruce Richardson, the owner of Kentucky’s Elmwood Inn Fine Teas and the author of 14 books on tea, including A Social History of Tea and Tea & Etiquette. Throughout her novels, Jane Austen was fond of using the term “tea things” as she set the scene in a fine Sussex parlor or the formal Assembly Rooms of Bath. TeaTime contributing editor Bruce Richardson delights his global audiences by sharing what those tea things were and how manners played a significant role in Georgian society.
